First Grader
Any chance we could get Hunt into the 7 and move Foran to a coaching role?

If we're serious about contending, no. Unless we can convince either Hunt or Foz to retire and be in an advisory role, no. I do not want two 35-year-old halves on the books. One is enough.You wouldn’t consider Hunt/Foz as a transition period to mentor Zane and ease him into first grade?
And that is not me saying I do not believe in the kid either. He has talent. Anyone who makes the NRL has proven that they have talent for the game. But we will continue this endless cycle of "Superstar Teen to debut for Titans" to "Teen Half dropped due to poor performances" all because they were played before they were ready for first grade. Have to think of the kid's mental health too. He will absolutely be ready in due time, but for the love of all that is holy, let it be at a normal, genuine development pace.If we're serious about contending, no.

Hypothetical not just for yourself but the forum as a whole; Let's say we do get Hunt in to mentor Zane and the others alongside Foz for next season. That still does not fix our spine issue. Foz and Hunt retire into the sunset, and we'll still be left without a set spine due to attitude and discipline from players who think they're world beaters. And I will call it right now, as soon as Zane puts together a few weak performances (Not saying he will 110%, but rugby league is a cruel game) a fair amount of people will come for his head. As they did with Weaver, and Sexton, and Boyd, Fogs, and Taylor, and Elgey, etc. I would much rather him develop at his own pace and be ready when he proves himself to be ready, rather than throw him to the wolves and put immense pressure on him. Same with Ryder too. We should be looking at recruiting actual halves coaches to get their gears grinding, not "potentially" sign Ben Hunt to mentor him for a season before he retires.
Not gonna lie I'm kinda happy about this, as good as Foz has been for us I'm a bit concerned about him starting for us next year and not losing his place unless he gets injured. He has been great but the sooner we prepare for the future the better, if this means Gordon gets reps at 7 in pre-season or they give JC a crack there, it could help bring their development along quicker and get them into the starting jersey early in the season.Foz having ankle reconstruction surgery this Friday and will be out of action for 3 months. That puts him coming back for pre season training after the new year. Not ideal.
What do you think HS and Mdrew? Does Oskar deserve another Dev deal? I remember Sikahele was going well last year but how do they compare now?
Are we resigning Ryder?
I was speaking to Michael Monaghan at the members forum a couple of months back and he said Des makes them watch hours of video in respect of their respective roles which is to raise their accountability. He said he has done more video work than he ever has but is enjoying Des expectations.Does anyone know each assistant coaches direct duty? I'm confused about th set up. One thing I do know is more support staff the better, but does Des give his support staff responsibility? I am so in the dark about what happens behind the scenes and I'm sure everyone else is aswell.
Hunts big contract ended this year iirc. Even his extension at St George is at a lower rateVerrills and Hunt are on completely different salaries. The maths makes no sense and Verrills is potentially our long term hooker.
Yeah Nah Hunt
WHAT??? BUT HE'S OUR THIRD BEST PLAYER AND PLAYER'S PLAYER!!!The DT has an article on different stats for the season and the worst player in the NRL with the most missed tackles from tackles attempted at 24 per cent, yes 1 missed tackle in every 4 attempted was……………….. …………. drum roll, yes you guessed it, Brian Kelly.
If the 3rd best player in the club is the worse tackler in the NRL, then you can see why the Titans finished 14th.WHAT??? BUT HE'S OUR THIRD BEST PLAYER AND PLAYER'S PLAYER!!!
Today I learned Liu was the 8th highest paid lock in the NRL
